Teletherm Releases Update to Online Infrared Training Course

TAMPA, FL, April 20, 2014 (Press-News.org) The new update from Teletherm Infrared Systems for their Thermology Certified Online Training Course provides extensively narrated presentations for three major sections in this comprehensive package of twenty modules. The full program offers a convenient way for users and novices, alike, to learn all relevant topics associated with the procedures, science, technology, health evaluations, and applications for thermal imaging. Designed specifically for the biomedical, clinical research and health care fields, subscribers are provided unlimited access to the course site. There is also a version tailored for the veterinary field. A complete education on infrared thermal imaging is provided online, in a very convenient format, unique to this industry.

The first section update covers the historical progression of temperature measurement, infrared technology and the introduction for use within the clinical setting. The program offers a complete perspective. From Hippocrates, who understood the importance of evaluating human thermal changes, to Herschel, with his discovery of the infrared portion of the spectrum, up to the present day uses of thermal imaging for stroke, neonatal and breast evaluations, this presentation is a thorough review. "It's important to have the knowledge of the progress that's occurred in this technology, as a framework for understanding future uses and efficacy," states G.J. Rockley, Director of Teletherm.

A detailed presentation is provided in the second section on the science and technology itself. There are users in the clinical situation, who have not learned about the basics of emission, absorptivity, and reflectivity with respect to infrared imaging for physiological applications. There can also be limited understanding about the elements involved with the appropriate spectral range they're working with for taking thermal images. Teletherm's head of research and development, a specialist in passive infrared sensing, has edited the course and provides valuable material to contribute towards a complete analysis of measuring data within the infrared spectrum, and identifying the pros and cons with the available detector technology.

Procedures and protocols are carefully detailed within the third narrated section for the online program. The necessary steps are provided for proper set up of the clinical infrared thermal imaging center, and for establishing, reliable, consistent, and repeatable studies. Many factors should be considered that are unique to the health care environment. The experience of Teletherm from three decades of installations in both large institutions and private clinics, throughout the world, has been transferred into the course curriculum presented.

Additional features of the main program include an extensive library of thermal images with annotations for each, detailing thermal areas of note. Guidelines regarding fees, medical/legal aspects, software analysis, suggested reports and forms, along with the latest medical research in thermal imaging are included.

A comprehensive review test completes the course with online submission. This includes an opportunity to ask specific questions and interact with the Thermology experts from Teletherm. A Technical Certificate of Completion is provided to course participants with successful demonstration of knowledge. This course doesn't require ownership of an infrared camera, or prior experience in this imaging field, in order to enroll. Complete details and registration information are available from Teletherm infrared for this program at their thermology.com website.
